I have loved this ring for a long time and still do... really, this ring (plus box!) neatly represents the pinnacle of the art of ring design of the time and place... absolutely gorgeous.

Some cool and i think rarer italian rings G.!
This first one. Yes, the Albanian eagle. While having some contact with italian collectors in the last weeks i have seen some similar rings and heard about. Some of this rings should be for italian solders for the albainian campaign 1939. And there friendship rings. Greater Albania (1941-1944)/Italy and Greater Albania/Italy/Germany. Rather rare italian made rings. Showing albanian eagle and italian eagle or albanian eagle, italian eagle and swastika. I meanwhile have seen pics of some different patterns from such rings. This Addis Abeba rings are campaign rings for the italian campaign in Ethiopia 1935.

Italian youth. I think brass with gilding (colour of pics is real not good). Very small diameter of the band from about 11 mm.

Some Italians are specialists in packing

All around the ring has a emblem from each branch of their military,, Paratrooper, Navy, Army, Tanker, airforce, and at the front is the emblem of a local shrine.. Great detail, well made. all will be seen in detail eventually...

In the case of this Addis Abeba ring i think it is a ring from the pre fascitic era. I have seen the same pattern with fasces on.
